Product details
Overview
MC9S08AC32CFGE from Freescale Semiconductor is an 8-bit HCS08 microcontroller featuring a 40-MHz CPU core, 32 KB on-chip FLASH memory, and 2 KB RAM. It integrates dual SCI modules supporting LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602, a 16-channel 10-bit ADC, and three timer/PWM modules - deployed in automotive body control modules for window lift, lighting, and door lock actuation.
For engineers reviewing the MC9S08AC32CFGE datasheet, MC9S08AC32CFGE pinout, MC9S08AC32CFGE application, or MC9S08AC32CFGE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin LQFP package with 28 GPIOs, internal clock generator with NVM-trimmed precision, COP watchdog with independent 1 kHz clock source, and hardware CRC module for firmware integrity verification.
Technical Context
The MC9S08AC32CFGE implements the HCS08 CPUV2 core with HC08 instruction set extension including BGND, operating at up to 40 MHz core frequency and 20 MHz bus frequency. Its memory subsystem includes 32 KB of user-programmable FLASH with block protection and security options, plus 2 KB of SRAM with retention in Stop2 mode.
Peripherals are tightly coupled to the bus architecture: two SCI modules support master/slave extended break for LIN communication; the 16-bit TPM modules offer input capture, output compare, and edge-aligned or centered PWM; and the S08ADC10V1 ADC supports hardware-triggered conversions with automatic compare against configurable thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | HCS08 CPUV2, 40-MHz max core frequency - enables real-time deterministic response in safety-critical automotive sub-systems. |
| Memory | 32 KB FLASH + 2 KB RAM - sufficient for LIN node firmware with diagnostics, EEPROM emulation, and bootloader space. |
| ADC | 16-channel, 10-bit SAR ADC with auto-compare - supports analog sensor monitoring (e.g., potentiometer position, temperature) without CPU intervention. |
| SCI Modules | Two LIN-capable SCI interfaces - each supports SAE J2602-compliant break generation/detection for multi-node vehicle networks. |
| Timers | Three TPM modules (two 2-channel, one 6-channel) - provide flexible PWM for motor control and input capture for encoder or switch timing. |
| Package | 32-pin LQFP (7 × 7 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) - RoHS-compliant surface-mount package compatible with standard reflow profiles. |
| Power Modes | Wait, Stop2, Stop3 - Stop2 retains RAM and peripheral clocks while drawing <1 µA, enabling ultra-low-power wake-on-IRQ operation. |
Pinout & Package
MC9S08AC32CFGE is housed in a 32-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) with exposed thermal pad (case outline 98ASA00473D), measuring 7 mm × 7 mm × 1.4 mm. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pins are numbered counter-clockwise starting from top-left.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

| PTA0–PTA7 | Port A general-purpose I/O | 8-bit bidirectional port with software-selectable pullups, slew rate, and drive strength - used for LED drivers, switch inputs, or LIN TX/RX routing. |
| PTB0–PTB7 | Port B general-purpose I/O | 8-bit port supporting keyboard interrupt (KBI) - configured for matrix keypad scanning or wake-on-key event detection. |
| SCI0_TX, SCI0_RX | LIN channel 0 serial interface | Dedicated UART pins with LIN physical layer compatibility - support 10–20 kbps baud rates with extended break framing per SAE J2602. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip CRC module (S08CRCV1) | Hardware-accelerated 16-bit CRC-ITU calculation - verifies FLASH integrity during boot or OTA update without CPU overhead. |
| Internal Clock Generator (ICG) | NVM-trimmed internal oscillator with ±2% accuracy over -40°C to +105°C - eliminates external crystal for cost-sensitive LIN slave nodes. |
| Computer Operating Properly (COP) watchdog | Configurable timeout with independent 1 kHz internal clock - ensures fail-safe reset even if main clock fails or software hangs. |
| Low-Voltage Detect (LVD) | Programmable trip points (e.g., 4.2 V, 3.8 V) with interrupt or reset option - prevents erratic operation during battery sag in 12 V automotive systems. |
| Background Debug Module (BDM) | Single-wire interface with two hardware breakpoints and 8-deep FIFO trace buffer - enables non-intrusive debugging in production firmware. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC9S08AC32CFGE CPU core?
The MC9S08AC32CFGE features an HCS08 CPUV2 core with a maximum core frequency of 40 MHz. Its internal bus operates at up to 20 MHz, and the core frequency is derived from the selected clock source - either an external crystal (1–8 MHz), internal ICG oscillator, or external clock input - scaled via programmable dividers. This timing enables deterministic execution of LIN protocol stacks and real-time motor control loops.
Does the MC9S08AC32CFGE support LIN 2.0 physical layer directly?
Yes, the MC9S08AC32CFGE includes two hardware SCI modules that natively support LIN 2.0 and SAE J2602 specifications. Each SCI provides dedicated registers for master extended break generation and slave extended break detection, eliminating the need for bit-banged timing or external transceivers in basic LIN slave implementations.
What package type and dimensions does the MC9S08AC32CFGE use?
The MC9S08AC32CFGE is packaged in a 32-pin Low-Profile Quad Flat Package (LQFP) with case outline number 98ASA00473D. Its footprint measures 7 mm × 7 mm with 0.8 mm pin pitch and 1.4 mm maximum height, including the exposed thermal pad on the bottom side for enhanced heat dissipation in automotive under-hood environments.
How much FLASH and RAM memory does the MC9S08AC32CFGE contain?
The MC9S08AC32CFGE integrates 32 KB of on-chip FLASH memory with block-level protection and security options, plus 2 KB of SRAM. The FLASH supports in-application programming (IAP) and includes a dedicated CRC module for integrity checking. RAM retains data in Stop2 mode, enabling fast wake-up with preserved context for low-power sensor polling tasks.
Is the MC9S08AC32CFGE pin-compatible with other members of the AC-series?
No - the MC9S08AC32CFGE uses a 32-pin LQFP package, while other AC-series devices like MC9S08AC60 and MC9S08AC48 are offered in 44-, 48-, or 64-pin packages. However, MC9S08AC48CFGE shares the identical 32-pin LQFP footprint and pinout with MC9S08AC32CFGE, differing only in FLASH size and part marking - making it a direct memory-upgrade option.
